Hi, I'm Michele

Michele Rout

Welcome to The Meditative Knitter, a space dedicated to sharing how knitting can transform your life through mindfulness and meditation. After a life-changing brain aneurysm in 2014, I discovered that knitting not only nourished my brain but also became a pathway to wellness, creativity, and calm. 

Many people struggle with traditional meditation, finding it challenging to sit still and quiet the mind. Knitting meditation offers the same benefits—such as reduced stress, improved focus, and enhanced mood—while engaging your hands and creativity. 

​​This website is my heartfelt invitation to you to explore how knitting can infuse your daily life with positivity and well-being. Join me as I share personal insights, tips, and resources that highlight the therapeutic benefits of this age-old craft, including knitting meditation techniques and patterns that blend the calming effects of meditation with the joy of creativity.

So, grab your favourite yarn and needles, and let's start your meditative knitting journey. I'm excited to share this space with you and explore how the meditative art of knitting can bring a touch of serenity to your life.

Benefits of Knitting

Discover the transformative power of knitting —a simple, soothing practice that combines creativity with mindfulness. More than just a craft, knitting is a path to mental well-being, reducing stress, improving focus, and fostering joy. With each rhythmic stitch, you’ll strengthen your brain, connect to your inner self, and cultivate patience and perseverance.

Knitting also offers an opportunity to explore your creativity, celebrate moments of flow, and enjoy the satisfaction of mastering a skill. Whether creating for yourself, loved ones, or charity, every project brings purpose, calm, and connection.
